Renaissance Black Woman: Still Gonna Pray by Charles & Taylor

Still Gonna Pray by Charles & Taylor

We all go threw some things in life. I tend to bury myself in this blog when I don't want to face the goings on in real life and it has truly been therapy for me, but I was reminded this Sunday morning while I am getting ready for church, that although I may have found solace (or temporarily being able to forget... not real solace), that I still have to pray. So God, you know what's burdening my heart, and I know you will never put more on me than I can bear, but I am putting this problem in your hands, and I have faith that you will make it alright. "When things are good, and when they don't go my way, I'm still gonna pray."

I love this record... every time the devil comes in and tries to make me doubt what God has blessed me with and what he will continue to bless me with... I blast this joint as loud as my stereo can go... and I am reassured that "I'm doing just fine...better than OK"

Hope the song with bless you the same way it has blessed me.

Happy Sunday, my Eb. Beautiful post. And yes...stay prayed up. The beautiful thing about God is that He is is ALWAYS there. And don't forget that you have loved ones praying for you as well, sis.

Stay beautiful.

Yes, honey, The Enemy (as my mom calls him LOL) is a devious little f*cker!

Today, he was tryna get me to be lazy, but I'm not having it. And rain or shine, I'm going for my walk in the park. So take that, devil!

I'm glad you have your faith to comfort you.

God is an ontime, everlasting, everloving God who values you too much...

...what a blessing...

Keli August 10, 2008 at 4:44 PM

Never can have too much prayer...

and sometimes when things seem dark...I just have to stop and thank him...because even in the midst of the storms, I have been blessed, even when I don't act as I should, he still sees fit to bless me...can't help but thank him.

Between you and Patrice, I feel like I am going to church in blogland. It's all good!

nothing can be more powerful that this! Whatever you're going through, give it up to Him. He will take care!

Be encouraged sista! :-)

Inspirational words girl. You're so right that God does NOT put more on us than we can bare, and what is on us needs to be given up to Him anyway. Thank you for this girl.
